Fault and Failure Tolerance

Jack D. Cowan

Working Papers from Santa Fe Institute

Abstract: One of the many remarkable properties of the brain is the degree to which it is fault and failure tolerant. In many cases even the loss of substantial amounts of brain cells or tissue does not totally abolish brain function, a property known as "graceful degradation". It is therefore not surprising that the problems of constructing fault and failure tolerant neural networks have been studied almost since the earliest days of Neural Networks.
